New York deli in SoCal

Gandolfo’s New York Delicatessen is so sure you will love their sandwiches, they state: “If you’re not sold this is the best sandwich you have ever tasted after the first bite, then we’ll give you your money back. Period.”

With locations in 13 states, one locally in the city of Rancho Cucamonga, this company has been making reubens, hoagies, and dagwoods since 1989.

In 2004, Dan Pool, CEO, had his first Gandolfo’s sandwich and knew from the first glorious bite that he wanted to buy the company and bring it to different cities.

I’m so very glad he did because this has quickly become a new favorite place of mine to get an appetizing sandwich.

Immediately entering Gandolfo’s Deli, I was greeted with a smile and asked if I had any questions.

Taken aback by the large menu posted on the wall, it took me a few minutes to decide on one sandwich; I wanted to try so many.

All of the sandwiches are sorted by deli meat, making it a little easier to sift through and decide which variety I wanted.

Whether you’re in the mood for something as simple as turkey or chicken, or feeling more adventurous and craving corned beef, pastrami, or meatballs–Gandolfo’s has it.

The sandwiches are not only flavorful, but also have clever, catchy names, almost forcing you to chuckle and smile.

Here are just a few: Meatball Hero, King of Queens, NYPD Bleu, Godfather, Urban Cowboy, Taxi Driver, Yonkers, and Godzilla.

Being a sandwich lover, it was very tough choosing which sandwich to order.
